When the postman brings Little Jack Rabbit an invitation to a birthday party, he is very excited. Daddy buys him a present to take and some smart clothes to wear; his sisters help him to wrap the present; his brother Buck gives him a soapy hot bath and tells him what parties are like. But when he realizes that none of them is invited and that he must go alone, Little Jack loses his enthusiasm. As ever, it is Granpa who saves the day with a reassuring word. He has just finished mending Bunnikin, Little Jack's favourite toy, so now Bunnikin can go to the party too. Little Jack has a great time, playing games and making friends with Rosy and her teddy, and, at the end of his big day, goes to bed with bunnikin very happy.
